Coldplay's best lyric and what it means to you

Featured Replies

I would have to say "You didn't get to Heaven, but you made it close!"

 

First, I just love that lyric and I think whoever thought of it is a f***ing genius.

 

Second, it actually made me realize that I'd better be good if I want St. peter to call my name!

"Oh I`m gonna buy this house and burn it down; and do back to it everything it did to you in return"..................for someone I love that was sexually abused without anyone realizing..

 

"Lets take a breath, jump over the side"..(what if)...fighting a major illness right now, it just fits my life. 'JUST DO IT"

1. From A Rush of Blood To the Head: A Rush of Blood To the Head

"So meet me by the bridge meet me by the lane

When am I going to see that pretty face again

Meet me on the road meet me where I said

Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head"

2. From X&Y: Square One

"Is there anybody out there who is lost and hurt and lonely too

Are they bleeding all your colours into one and if you come undone

As if you've been run through some catapult it fired you

You wonder if your chance will ever come or if you're stuck in square one"

3. From Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends: Lost!

"You might be a big fish in a little pond,

Doesn't mean you've won

Cause along may come a bigger one"

4. From Parachutes: Don't Panic

"Oh all that I know there's nothing here to run from

Cause here anybody here got somebody to lean on"

5. From Parachutes: Trouble

"I never meant to cause you trouble

and I never meant to do you wrong

ah, well if I ever caused you trouble

oh no I never meant to do you harm"

come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry, you don't know how lovely you are...

questions of science, science and progress did not speak as loud as my heart.

"Come on, oh my star is fading

And I see no chance of release

'Cuz I know I'm dead on the surface

But I am screaming underneath"

--Amsterdam

 

GENIUS.

"Come on, oh my star is fading

And I see no chance of release

'Cuz I know I'm dead on the surface

But I am screaming underneath"

--Amsterdam

 

GENIUS.

 

Excellent one right there! First one that came to my mind, actually.

 

Also:

 

"But life is for living, we all know,

And I don't wanna live it alone."

--Life is for Living

 

and

 

"People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day"

--Strawberry Swing

LIFE IS FOR LIVING: "Now I never meant to do you harm, that's what I came here to say. But if I was wrong then Im sorry, dont let it stand in our way. As my head just aches when I think of the things that I shouldn't have done. But life is for living we all know, and I don't want to live it alone."

 

Describes me in every way and how I feel about people I've wronged.

 

 

FIX YOU: "If you never try you'll never know, just what you're worth."

 

Gets me the courage to try things I normally would be too afraid of cuz I know it's better to try and fail then always wonder what if?

"and the tears come steaming down your face

when you lose something you cant replace

when you love someone but it goes to waste

could it be worse"

 

this is weird because its from one of my favorite songs by them, but it didnt really cut it for me until something happend in my life. im not one of those people whose necessarily like, "coldplay is singing this for me" lol, but it certainly hit me pretty close to home.

 

"and you know

for you i bleed myself dry"

 

the first time i heard those words the kind of devotion i imagined was unparalled. if i ever really like someone thats kind of how i feel and i dont know, the words just hit me.

 

then i shall say that the whole green eyes song is just lyrical brilliance and despite its simplicity its still brilliance.

 

 

seriously though, i havent even tapped the surface of all the amazing lyrics, this is probably the thing you could ask, even harder than favorite song.

mine are these 3

 

1. every single word in politik :cool:

 

2. im gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you tell me something worth fighting for.

im gonna buy this place is what i said, blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

 

3. bones sinking like stones, all that we fought for. homes places we've grown, all of us are done for. we live in a beutiful world, yeh we do yeh we do.

 

:D

"Come on, oh my star is fading

And I see no chance of release

'Cuz I know I'm dead on the surface

But I am screaming underneath"

--Amsterdam

 

GENIUS.

 

yes it is a beautiful lyric

They have lots of great lyrics. But my all time favorite is:

 

Every step that you take

Could be your biggest mistake

It could bend or it could break

That's the risk that you take

 

What if

 

Its about life and things you could do. And all the risks that in the end could be something great.

You want to stop before you begin

You want to sink when you know you could swim

You want to stop just before you begin

Never give in

Never give in

 

Nothing matters

Except life and the love you make

 

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war

If you can tell me something worth fighting for

 

how infinite is space

and who decides your fate

why everything will dissolve into sand

 

Give me love over this.

probably the whole of 'everythings not lost', first time I heard it it really pulled my heart strings, I was rock bottom and that song was the beginning of me getting out of the hole I was in.

A rush of blood to the head is their best song lyrically in my opinion. So angry in a loving way...Can't pick a specific line from it.

"Lets take a breath, jump over the side"..(what if)...fighting a major illness right now, it just fits my life. 'JUST DO IT"

 

 

Oh no...i hope you get better soon.

"when you get what you want but not what you need" _Fix You

 

"Do not speak as Loud as my heart" _The scientist

 

"A Warning Sign I missed the good part and I realised

that you were an island and I passed you by

when you were an island to discover" _ Warning Sign

 

"Time is so short and I'm sure

there must be something more" _42

 

"Hold my head inside your hands

I need someone who understands

I need someone, someone who hears

For you I’ve waited all these years

 

For you I’d wait 'til kingdom come

Until my day, my day is done

And say you'll come and set me free

Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me" _Till Kingdome Come

so hard to choose... but I'll list a few:

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for.... Probably my fav line from coldplay

Time is so short and I'm sure there must be something more; you did n't get to heaven but you made it close....both from 42

Give me love over, love over this.... from politik, the music that goes with this is beautiful as well

Oh what good is it to live with nothing left to give

Forget but not forgive, not loving all you see.... from swallowed in the sea.

I'm missing some other great lines anyway

No, I don`t wanna battle from beginning to end,

I don`t want a cycle of recycled revenge,

I don`t wanna follow death and all of his friends

(Death and all his friends - in my opinion the best Coldplay lyrics)

 

Tears stream down your face,

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

(Fix you - Fits perfectly with the melody and is extremely touching)

 

Now the sky could be blue, I don`t mind

Without you it's a waste of time

(Strawberry Swing - Makes me totally happy every time I hear it)

No, I don`t wanna battle from beginning to end,

I don`t want a cycle of recycled revenge,

I don`t wanna follow death and all of his friends

 

 

Tears stream down your face,

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

 

 

Now the sky could be blue, I don`t mind

Without you it's a waste of time

 

Definitly those three! Don't really have to say why, do I? Genius!

 

And those to aswell:

 

Nobody said it was easy

It's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be this hard

- The Scientist, its just brilliant.

 

and then i looked up at the sun

and i could see

oh, the way that gravity turns for you and me

and then i looked up at the sky

and saw the sun

and the way that gravity turns on everyone

on everyone

- Gravity, I just love these lyrics, they just made a big impression on me.

Gravity is absolutely perfect. :nice:

 

"I don't have a soul to save

Yes, and I sin every single day

So I want to live in a wooden house

Where making more friends would be easy

I want to live where the sun comes out."

-We never change

 

Just perfect. :heart:

 

"I was scared, I was scared

Tired and under prepared

But I'll wait for it."

-In My Place

 

I feel like I'm always waiting for something, sometimes I don't even know what it is.

I'm fucking weird.

 

 

"Maybe you get what you wanted

Maybe you'll stumble upon it

Everything you ever wanted

In a permanent state"

-White Shadows

 

I just love this song. :nice: It means a lot to me. The year X&Y came out was a rough one and this song helped.

Actually, all of X&Y did, but I don't tell a lot of people on here that. :tongue:

 

"They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like"

-Lovers in Japan

 

Amen, Coldplay! I feel like this happens to me all the time, being analyzed and etc.

oh yes I forgot Gravity and the scientist... brilliant

In yellow, when I heard "Your skin, oh yea your skin and bones" It gave me chills haha. Im not a fan of liking super popular songs, but that one is it.

Oh man, where to start?

 

Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart

 

You know that feeling where things only make sense as a feeling. Sometimes, everything else should be discounted.

 

When you were too in love to let it show

 

This happens so often to me; I get too in love with a person to let them know or so in love that I forget to show them that and drown in them. And the truth is that they usually want to know!

 

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do

 

People forget that this song is lyrical genius. I have tried for years and years to write a line so simple that says so much about how I feel about someone...it never works.

 

Give me love over, love over, love over this

 

This should be like, the world motto or something.

 

Oh what good is it to live with nothing left to give, forget but not forgive, not loving all you see

 

And every breath that you take could be your biggest mistake; it could bend and it could break, but that's just the risk that you take

 

I don't wanna battle from beginning to end, I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge, I don't wanna follow death and all of his friends

 

One day, we're gonna get out

 

Don't you wanna curve away?

So I crawl back in to your open arms... A Warning Sign
